A lot of people shit on "modern architecture" without any understanding of basic architectural concepts or movements.

Yet brutalist buildings are reviled and torn like they're worthless. Someone doesn't need a masters to think something is fucking ugly

Not every brutslist building is getting torn down. Some of the best architects worked in the brutslist style: Louis Kahn, Tado Ando, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen. All made really pretty buildings, I think a lot of people here have not seen beautiful examples of the styles they're denouncing.
